Recap: A Rhapsody of Symbols

Movies always have overdone symbolism. It's quite funny.

Went with Kate, Lucy, Christine, and Anna to watch STAR WARS III today. We sat up front and I got very disoriented. Sad, I don't think I'm suited for large screen movies and I think it's because I'm used to rely on my visual input too much. The screen took up too much of my visual field so I get the sense that I'm THERE in the scene and moving as the camera is moving except the rest of my senses tells me that no, I'm not moving at all and the conflicting signals is making me feel dizzy. However, I found that I can either 1. close one eye and destroy my depth perception so the movie feels really fake or 2. unfocus my eyes slightly (I found out that if I really concentrate on focusing, I can see the light band moving up my monitor screen, which is cool [meaning I can focus high frequency] but gives me a headache). Unfocusing my eyes means my brain processes less frames per minute and for some reason, that worked for me. Oh and dark room was very nice. Cushy seats. But it was loud enough so I had no problem staying awake.

Christine was complaining about how she can't eat anything though she craved meat (had her wisdome teeth (tooth?) pulled out). It's the season of teeth pulling, apparently...so many people I know are having their teeth pulled out. Victoria's going to soon too, I hear.

It must be a new fad. I could never understand them.
Joking. Joking.
